I'm not really for it. I feel that, if you kill someone(s) you are either mentally unstable, or you were angry. A lot of our serial killers had mental disorders, and really could have benefited from professional help. I DO believe they should go to jail for a VERY long time. But I think instead of the death penalty, they should go through rigorous psychiatric treatment.

Not for moral reasons; I am against it because the fact is that the lawyer fees the state has to cough up to go through all the appeals involved in death penalty cases dwarfs the cost of just keeping that person in jail for the rest of their life. If both life in prison and the death penalty have the same desired outcome (i.e. removing a dangerous person from society), then I think we should go with the option that is less of a burden on the tax payers.

The death penalty must remain. A person who just loves to kill has no reason not to kill other inmates or guards if there are no consequences because he has been sentenced to several life terms with no chance of parole.
